Kinda suprised no one else jumped in here, LOL...

My opinion, considering there were four patternless, sure seems to point to them being genetic...(if there were only one, it would be a different story...but four, all with that same appearance...very difficult for that to be random.)

One of the siblings to the patternless babies, that I've seen pictures of, had an awesome tail, that reminds me a lot of some of the connected pattern/laddertail siblings to my 50% Suriname Roswell boas, and their parents.

And the parents of the patterness babies, I believe had some BCC blood...(please correct me if I'm wrong about this)

So I'm sort of wondering if the patternless gene comes from the BCC side, and is a super form...?

I've got some further pairings to do for proof, but I'm pretty certain the Roswells are a super form of the connected pattern/laddertails...

I suspect something very similar may be going on with the patternless gene...

I look at the tail on the patternless, and it is almost like a fuzzy, blurred version of a Roswell...with that one, single spot at the end of the tail, too...
